Each cow provided a stall for loafing. She won’t be stepped on, the rear curb forces manure out into alley for mechanical cleaning or washing. A few minutes twice a day cleans the stalls and curbs, bedding lasts almost forever if your stalls fit the cows. Popular sizes are 6'6", 7’ and 7’6". Size ’em by breed. Our free stall partition may be mounted on wooden head boards or we make a steel divider. Set the legs in 8 to 10” concrete curbs to hold and retain bedding. Stall floor can be soil, sand or gravel. Bedding straw, sawdust, peanut hulls, ground corn cobs, etc. Should be installed with paved alley surface 8 feet wide for mechanical cleaning or washing. - 8 Models all steel welded farm and feedlot gates - 2 Models all steel welded head catch gate For prices, contact: Fred Frey, Mgr.

The 28-page “Stauffer Fruit Spray Record Book” also details the use of Captan and Folpet fungicide and Imidan insecticide. All three chemicals work well in integrated pest management and are easy on beneficial insects and mites. Special consideration' is given to the control of apple scab, a perennial orchard problem. Tables show the number of days required for scab to appear after inoculation and a correlation chart helps determine the effects of temperature and length of wet period on the disease. Other fruit diseases are also discussed. Stauffer booklet No. A -10655, is available from Stauffer Chemical Company, Ken Powers, Agricultural Chemical Division, West port, Conn. 06880. READ LANCASTER FARMING The Silent Most everyone is now familiar with the science of solid-state electronics. Transistor radios and TV sets are just a couple of its applications found in many homes. Presently, an era of elec tronics is dawning in ag riculture. More and more uses are being incorporated into the building of farm machinery and other phases of modern agriculture. Such “Silent Sentinels of Modern Farming” are com plementing and improving the care and efficiency tradi tionally exercised by far mers to increase their pro ductivity of food and fiber. These silent sentinels may not have the nostalgic glamor of the traditional ag ricultural guardians, but the growing are be ginning to play are just as important. , They don’t have the pas toral beauty of a young Colo nial “cowkeep” equipped with horn, moving all of the cows of an entire town back and forth daily to community pasture.
